Shocked, our ancestors also had to go to kindergarten

In order to further verify his guess, Qin Huan secretly went up the mountain alone.

However, she got lost halfway up the mountain.

It's like encountering a ghost wall. No matter which way you go, you will end up back where you started.

But this kind of pediatric fog is useless.

She simply took out a few spirit stones from her pocket and placed them in a few directions to dispel the fog and find the right path.

I feel like the thing on this mountain must be very angry. After all, it probably didn't expect that someone could take out a spirit stone.

Follow the path deeper into the mountains.

Qin Huan had to say that this place was so realistic that it felt like he was not in an illusion, but rather had fallen into some other world.

Along the way, she saw fluttering pheasants, pregnant rabbits, and deer drinking water.

There are all the animals that should be found in the mountains, and they seem to be living in real life.

Even the ladybug on the leaf has this kind of detail.

She walked deep into the mountains, but still couldn't find the "mountain god".

During this period, she did encounter a snake, and because she suspected it was a disguised creature or an informant, she killed the snake directly.

But in the end, nothing was found.

She didn't know if it was hidden too deep or she was not careful enough and missed something.

Seeing that it was getting dark, we had to give up the search and go down the mountain to go home.

"I'm back!" Qin Huan pushed open the door and saw two dusty boys at a glance.

"Puchi - what are you doing? Role-playing? Fire-making girl?"

Wanyan Kang was a little embarrassed. Zhao Linger's hair was messy and her face was stained with some black dust, which made her look even more adorable.

She explained crisply: "Rongrong said that it was dark and it would be strange if there was no smoke in the kitchen, so she prepared to cook for us.

But everyone felt that she couldn't do it alone, and we also wanted to learn how to cook, so we went to help light the fire."

As for the result, it was obvious that if An Lingrong hadn't been there, the thatched house would have been burned down.

Their task was to light the fire, while Ying Zheng was washing the vegetables seriously and Ouyang Mingri was washing the dishes.

An Lingrong was in charge of cooking, while Zhou Zhiruo was sweeping the floor.

Everyone can do some work, except for the two who are the least capable and want to learn how to cook, who went into the kitchen to light the fire...

Because when you make a fire you can watch how the food is cooked up close.

“Where did the food come from?”

"It was sent by the teacher's sister-in-law. She also sent some rice and a few eggs, but I have none of them—"

Everyone understands what is left unsaid.

They don't dare to eat anything here, so they basically replace the ingredients with the same ones.

***

at night.

Xiao Fang is here again.

This time he came with a pheasant.

"Huan Niang, you should stew this chicken tomorrow and use it to nourish Kang'er. You must have been scared these past two days. You've lost weight." He reached out his hand and wanted to touch her face with a distressed look on his face.

Qin Huan took a step back and said, "Then please put it in the kitchen and lock it up for me. I'm a little scared."

Xiao Fang, who had just shown a puzzled expression, immediately smiled.

"Okay, it's all my fault. I forgot that you don't like to touch these things. Don't be afraid. I'll kill them for you and chop them into pieces before you leave."

"Well, is there anything going on in the village today?"

Qin Huan has already determined that Xiao Fang is now a rural version of a love-brained person, so he is dealing with him more and more directly.

Just ask whatever you want, he will come up with the reason anyway.

"The village chief called us over today and we went to town to buy some items for the sacrifice."

At this point, Xiao Fang's ears turned red as he took out a cloth bag from his arms and gave it to her.

"I bought you a few small clothes. Didn't you say last time that you wanted something with brighter colors? I think these two are good..."

Qin Huan: ... "Thank you."

The two chatted for a while, with her basically asking the questions and Xiao Fang answering without thinking, and then throwing in some private words.

After she knew everything she wanted to know, she let him go first, saying that she felt dizzy and wanted to rest.

"Then Huanniang, you should have a good rest. I will kill the chicken and put it in the water tank to keep it cool before you leave."

"Yeah." Qin Huan agreed casually.

But when they woke up the next day, they did not see a raw chicken, but only a pot of hot chicken soup.

When it was almost dawn, Xiao Fang came back, secretly cooked the chicken, and then quietly left.

He also helped fill the water tank and brought over two bundles of firewood.

To be honest, if Qin Huan were reading a novel, he would probably support the peasant man and the widow as a couple.

However, Xiao Fang's character is not good. He has a wife and son at home, and I heard that his wife is living a miserable life.

The village was always talking about it, and his wife's cries and pleas for mercy could always be heard.

As for the son, the villagers all described him as having dull eyes, being thin, short and a little stupid.

Qin Huan regarded this place as an illusion and the villagers as NPCs, so he paid special attention to some gossip.

I went out yesterday and found out a lot.

For example, the character named Bai Yunchu is the only literate boy in the village.

The family was very poor. In order to allow him to go to school, his grandfather forced his sons and daughters-in-law to sell his children many times.

His parents basically give birth to one child every year.

They are sold when they are three or four years old, either sent to the mountains or sold in town.

Several girls from his uncles' and aunts' houses were also forced by his grandparents to be sold. After all, in ancient times, filial piety could crush a person.

It can be said that his academic journey is paved with the bones of his sisters, brothers and sisters.

Just - two words to sum it up: crazy!

In Qin Huan's eyes, the two patriarchs of this family have gone crazy in order to change their family's fortunes.

There's more to it than that. The villagers didn't say anything, but her sister-in-law told her something in secret.

That is, Bai Yunchu also deceived the hearts of many young girls and seduced them to steal things from their homes to help him.

But no one had any evidence, and she only knew about it because she had seen it several times.

This reminded Qin Huan of the little girl who cried so heartbreakingly that day.

Later I learned that she was a girl living in a family at the end of the village.

This family is also not human...

Anyway, there seem to be a lot of things like this in the village.

If you ask around, you'll find that almost every one of them has a bad reputation behind the scenes, with many scandals and no one is a good person.

For example, her character and Xiao Fang’s character are both not good people.

She also found out about her sister-in-law from an old woman in the village.

My sister-in-law’s surname is Zhang, and she was bought by the eldest son of the Qin family.

The old woman told her to be careful of her sister-in-law, and her words were vague. It seemed that she didn't really want to tell her the truth, but also wanted to make her alert.

Finally she pried his mouth open.

The old woman whispered to her, "Your sister-in-law hates the Qin family. She asked the village chief to send her two children to the mountain herself!"

Qin Huan's first reaction was that it was impossible. When she mentioned the child, she cried so sadly. How could she have been the one who suggested giving the child away?

However, the old woman spoke with certainty, and all the old people in the village knew it.
